Regeneration: Local Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is able to take in instances when local authorities do not deliver on promised regeneration schemes within reasonable timeframes.
Answered by Alison McGovern
This Government has placed the empowerment of local leaders at the heart of its agenda. Local authorities are responsible for delivering growth and regeneration in their areas, drawing on their understanding of local needs and priorities. Where schemes receive Government funding, the Department monitors delivery against agreed funding conditions. Any action taken in response to delays will depend on the specific circumstances and the terms of the relevant funding agreement.
